We got back from New Orleans late last Tuesday. We just couldn’t tear ourselves away and ended up staying rather late Monday night. We only went as far as Baton Rouge that night so Tuesday was a fairly long day. I then drove to the city Wednesday because my dad was having a procedure done…

Just a quick post to let y’all know we did survive our trip to New Orleans. We got home Tuesday evening, enjoyed our first stargazing of the season, and then had a little trip to the E.R. after I broke out in massive hives and angioedema (swelling of face, lips, hands, ankles, etc.). I spent…
